Tuning plates? Need side box smoker help!

Thanks, fellas!

Did the chimney mod with 3" aluminum ducting (a bit tough because my chimney had a flange on the inside; needle nose pliers took care of it!)

Picked up a cookie sheet that fit the measurements perfectly, and used it as a baffle. It actually did TOO good of a job, as the grate temperature at the firebox was less than the side OPPOSITE the firebox.

Next mod will be to drill a few holes in the cookie sheet, as it really funneled the heat to the far side of the smoker.
